How many blondes does it take to play an audio tape?

I thought these dumb blonde jokes were just a way to make fun of few folks, who might have inadvertently done something stupid much to the amusement of folks who witness it.

But indeed, there is some iota of truth here… today I saw three blondes attempting to play an audio tape in a three in one player( Three in one, since it is an antiquated piece of hardware, plays FM radio, plays CD and of course magnetic tapes.)

So these three females in question were attempting to play the magnetic tape in this player, but, the player refused to play it. Then started the usual play around it.

All the while failing to realize that it was in the cd mode and that it would not play a magnetic tape, until and unless, you changed it to the tape mode.

Phew… it does indeed take three blondes to play an audio tape.

Char Aane ki Murgi Barah Aane Ka Masala.

Yes… That's what I feel. The effort started as an attempt by a friend who wanted to make eggless Tiramisu. Obviously, since I am a stakeholder in the end product (read that as one who would also eat the end product) I accompanied my friend for purchasing the necessary ingredients.

  1. Custard Powder – 30 bucks
  2. Cheese – 30 bucks
  3. Coffee Powder – 50 bucks
  4. Sponge Cake – ( We couldn’t get it anywhere near the house!! )
  5. Auto ride for the quest for a 50 buck sponge cake – 70 bucks!!!
  6. A Tiramisu which merely ended up being a figment of someone's imagination – priceless!!!

Damn!!! So we continue the quest for an eggless tiramisu, maybe next week!!!
